  • Design and Assessment of Tax Incentives in Developing Countries
    DESIGN AND ASSESSMENT OF TA X INCENTIVES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES SELECTED ISSUES AND A COUNTRY EXPERIENCE UNITED NATIONS DESIGN AND ASSESSMENT OF TAX INCENTIVES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES SELECTED ISSUES AND A COUNTRY EXPERIENCE asdf United Nations New York, 2018 CIAT Copyright © United Nations 2018 All rights reserved Preface Tax incentives have traditionally been used by governments as tools to promote a particular economic goal. They are preferential tax treatments that are offered to a selected group of taxpayers and take the form of exemptions, tax holidays, credits, investment allowances, preferential tax rates and import tariffs (or customs duties), and deferral of tax liability. The generalized use of tax incentives has been justified by the need to: (i) correct market inefficiencies associated with the externalities of certain economic activities; (ii) target new industries and mobile investments that are subject to tax competition; (iii) generate a form of agglomeration economies, or concentration externalities; and (iv) subsidize companies during their sector’s downturn. As a matter of fact, developed countries normally use tax incentives to promote research and development activities, export activities, and support the competitiveness of their enterprises in the global market; while developing countries use them to attract foreign investment and foster national industries. Although at first, tax incentives appear to be costless because they do not seem to affect the current budget, they may entail significant costs, such as revenue loss, low economic efficiency, increased administrative and compliance costs, and excessive tax planning and tax evasion, which may exceed their benefits and considerably erode the general tax base. Given that costs and benefits of tax incentives vary from country to country, the impact of tax incentives on the economic growth and expansion of the overall tax base is not uniform.
